This workbench is super handy for carpenters. To use it, just place your woodworking materials on the surface and start your project. When using the vices, make sure to tighten them properly to hold your workpieces in place. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Wipe it down regularly with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup. Avoid placing wet items on it for a long time, as this could damage the wood. Also, don't overload it with extremely heavy objects to ensure its long - term durability.
